Labor Day Parties: The Jump Off

There's plenty of parties tonight to kick off one of the most celebrated weekends in the U.S. Sadly, I'll be in Charleston until tommorow afternoon but be sure to tell me what we down and who you saw. To send tips to DC Fab! click here! :)

I don't know about you but I'm a little confused. Both Love (1350 Okie Street NW) and Ibiza (1222 First Street NE) are suggesting that LL Cool J will be stopping by. Not sure which club is telling the truth but perhaps he's coming to both.

Elicit Entertainment is celebrating their launch at Pure (1326 U Street NW). Not too sure about the fab! factor of this party but they're giving away bottles of champagne. So if you're feeling lucky head down to this U Street staple.

The party continues this Friday at Mayorga Lounge (301 14th Street NW). Good people (typically recent college grads), good vibe. Check it out.

Layla Lounge (501 Morse Street) has more of an 'international' vibe tonight but at least ladies get in free all night (Guys, they got you until 11 PM).

Where's Alicia Keys?

To celebrate the birthday of designer Kenny Flanagan, Alicia Keys was slated to join him along with promoters Ra Ra and Scotty, The Dreamteam and a host of others at Mayorga Cafe and Lounge (3301 14th Street NW).

If you'll be looking for Ms. Keys don't look for her here (she had to cancel) but it's sure to be a good time anyway...stop by and check it out.

Friday Night Hotspots: Love | Mayorga

CALLING ALL REGGAE HEADS!!! If you love reggae, soca, dancehall or anything like that head to Love (1350 Okie Street NW) tonight. The legendary Shabba Ranks and Machel Montano will be in the building. Shout out to all my Bahamians.

Scotty of IDC is celebrating his birthday tonight at Mayorga Lounge (3301 14th Street NW)...he's turning the big 3-0. Whew! You go boy...RSVP here to get in free before 11. Rumor has it that Alicia Keys may stop by here soon...one day...in the near future...

Sex and the City After Parties

I don't think I need to tell you that Sex and the City comes out today...although most cool people have already seen it...yea, I'm not one of them. (sad face, pouting, crying, tears coming down, stomping, screaming...okay I'm done)

There are plenty of parties to head to after the movie. Bring your ticket stub to Pasha (2147 P Street NW) and you'll get in free. Plus one lucky partygoer will get a free SATC gift bag! How cute! RSVP here.

Mayorga Cafe (3301 14th Street NW) is joining in on the SATC fun. Bring your ticket stub here (I guess everyone had the same idea) and get in free until midnight...but Mayorga has one up on Pasha because if you show your ticket stub to the bartender you get a free cosmo! And omg, is it true that you guys are giving away a sex swing? That's just tacky...but I'm sure somebody will be happy lol. EW.

Memorial Day 08: Your Friday Night

YEAH!!...not only do we have a four day weekend, we're also supposed to have lovely weather over Memorial Day weekend. I'll be in Boston (...y'all know I can't sit still) but you've been asking me (thanks for your patience)...and I finally have my top picks (in no particular order of course) for your Friday night party! :)

(Photo: Me and my girls last Memorial Day spent in Dade County...that song was hot then)

Pasha (2147 P Street NW) is continuing their Friday night party into Memorial Day weekend. Hosted by The Talk of DC, you'll get in free before 11 PM. I know everyone wants to celebrate their graduation this weekend and Pasha has tables going for $350-$1000 (wow...$1000!...that's a bit much for Pasha)...at least they have $5 patron and ciroc before 11.

G4 is continuing to pop back on the scene at Mai Thai (1200 19th Street NW). A loooot of UMDers will be celebrating their graduations here so if you know somebody that knows somebody perhaps you'll be acting a fool here. Shout out to my DC Fab! correspondent Aminata and Video Fab! correspondent Felicia on their graduation! :) One of my fav DJs will be on the 1s and 2s, DJ KI so the music will be good. I don't know for some reason I foresee people dancing on couches...hmmm...Oh yea, it's free until midnight. *UPDATE*: G4 Scott says, "If you don't get a bad chick's number tonight, I'll give you your money back!!". Please take him up on his offer. :)

So who isn't promoting Mayorga Cafe (3301 14th Street NW)? Some of your favs will be in the building this Friday at this nice spot hidden in Columbia Heights. I was supposed to check it out last week but then my sinuses were effin' my swag up so I stayed in the house...still, I hear a lot of ladies were in the place...almost too many. Fellas, you may find your number one fan here. 

Chee Chee and Cheeky bring out an older, more professional crowd to Station 9 (1438 U Street NW). Station 9 has great areas for lounging and enjoying a cocktail. Don't expect things to pop off too much here...although the flyer says they'll "crank that Soulja Boy"...hmm I doubt it...It's $10 and the party is on the second floor.

Stay fab y'all! :)

p.s. Have y'all heard the new Common and Pharell song?! It's bumpin! Get it here!

Fridays at Mayorga Cafe or M Lounge

Every Friday it goes down at Mayorga Cafe and Lounge (3301 14th ST NW). A rather nice venue in the heart of Columbia Heights, "M Lounge" as their dubbing it, may be the place to check out this weekend. 

You're fav promoters will most likely be in the building Mitch, Akil, Anwaa and even Ra Ra & Scotty are all trying to hype this place up. From what I've seen, if they can make this party as beautiful at Mayorga they may have a winner. 

I'll find out! :)

p.s. My allergies are effin' up my swag... ::sigh:: Emory! Where is my Alegra!!!!!!?

Try these: Station 9 | Pasha | Mayorga Cafe

So I told you everybody was throwing something this weekend...and I wasn't lying. Here are Friday night's options:

>>> At Station 9 (1438 U Street NW), the Usual Suspectz (shout out to Brandon!) are throwing a posh, polite and professional party. It will probably be more like a happy hour. Go here if you're into the lounge scene. On the second floor they have these great seating areas to sip and look cute. DJ Cuzzin B (WHO IS ON POINT!) and DJ Top Choice will be on the 1s and 2s. Also, you might have a chance to win 2 VIP tickets to The Glow in the Dark Tour.

>>> The Talk of DC (Hi Nate!) is taking over Pasha (2147 P Street NW) once again on a Friday night. It's called the "Bad Girls Party Part 2" and they're celebrating the Bison graduates with giveaways for ladies and $5 Patron shots. RSVP here to get in free! DJ Goldenboy told me it popped last Friday so go and find out. (How's your ankle boo?)

>>> Also, Chris M. has been texting me like crazy about what he likes to call the sexiest party on Friday. It's Mayorga Cafe & Lounge (3301 14th Street)...not to be confused with The Park at 14th...although their party is called 14th and Park. I still find that so weird.

The Remix? 14th and Park

I'm so confused...but let's just clarify together...this isn't The Park at Fourteenth...it's called 14th and Park (are you guys trying to confuse people on purpose??) at Mayorga Cafe (3301 14th St). 

Anwaa has been promoting this spot for a minute but Mitch of the Dreamteam (throws parties at Cafe Asia) and Akil Waite of Eyebar Tuesdays are joining him this Friday to bring a grown and sexy crowd to Mayorga every Friday.
